It's amazing how much stuff you accumulate over the years! Hope you have time for some relaxing stitching now that you've gotten a bit lighter.

I like the setting and use of fabrics in your Freefall, and look forward to seeing it quilted.

My folks, when cleaning out Grandmother's house decided since I quilt, I should have the frame. Didn't ask, just brought it over! (Over as in a 10 hour drive!) Funny thing, Grandmother didn't quilt! We are guessing the frame came from her aunt who was the quilter in the family. I noticed the X legs in your photo before you mentioned them, and thought if I had a pair of those, part of that old quilt frame could be put to use! I tried donating the frame to a local quilt shop that only works restoring antique quilts, but they were not interested.

I have half loaded a quilt onto my own longarm frame but it has been so long that I don't remember what to do next and I know my tension was kind of wonky the last time I used that machine so I need a good-sized chunk of time before I can get back to that...

Homeschooling: I had each of our adult children look through their old school & art work to decide what they wanted to keep. For those married - it was fun for the spouse to see a glimpse of their childhood. Most supplies I donated to current homeschool families I know. I have a plethora of papers, crayons, pencils that my grands will slowly work through. Purging the homeschool supplies gave me closet space to repurpose. Doesn't it just feel like a breath of fresh air to clean out!?Sharon - INhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921429404805177010noreply@blogger.com
